Product details
Overview
VNS1NV04DPTR-E from STMicroelectronics is a dual-channel, fully autoprotected high-side power switch IC built on VIPower™ M0-3 technology, integrating two OMNIFET II monolithic chips in a single SO-8 package. It delivers 1.7 A typical current limiting per channel, 250 mΩ RDS(on) at VIN = 5 V and Tj = 25 °C, and 40 V drain-source clamp voltage - enabling robust DC–50 kHz switching in automotive body control modules and industrial PLC output stages.
For engineers reviewing the VNS1NV04DPTR-E datasheet, VNS1NV04DPTR-E pinout, VNS1NV04DPTR-E application, or VNS1NV04DPTR-E equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability load switching where integrated thermal shutdown, linear current limitation, diagnostic feedback via input pin, and ESD-hardened (4 kV HBM) operation are mandatory design requirements.
Technical Context
The device implements dual independent high-side switches with direct gate access for analog driving, each featuring autonomous protection circuitry: overvoltage clamp (40–55 V), linear current limiter (1.7–3.5 A), and junction temperature sensing (shutdown at 150–200 °C). Fault status is communicated through sink current (10–20 mA) on the INPUT pin without requiring external components.
Its SO-8 package supports dual-channel integration while maintaining compatibility with standard power MOSFET drive circuits. The internal low-impedance gate path enables TTL-level input compatibility, and the 100–150 µA supply current drawn from the input pin powers all protection logic without auxiliary bias rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RDS(on) | 250 mΩ max per channel at VIN = 5 V, ID = 0.5 A, Tj = 25 °C - ensures low conduction loss in 12 V automotive loads up to ~1.5 A continuous. |
| Current limit (ILIM) | 1.7 A typical per channel at VIN = 5 V, VDS = 13 V - provides predictable short-circuit energy limiting without external sense resistors. |
| Drain-source clamp voltage (VCLAMP) | 40 V min at ID = 0.5 A - protects against inductive kickback in solenoid/relay drivers without external TVS diodes. |
| Thermal shutdown threshold (Tjsh) | 150–200 °C - triggers automatic cut-off before silicon damage; reset occurs at ~135 °C, enabling self-recovery after fault clearance. |
| Fault sink current (Igf) | 10–20 mA at Tj = Tjsh - delivers unambiguous diagnostic signal to microcontroller GPIO without level-shifting or amplification. |
| Input supply current (IISS) | 100–150 µA at VIN = 5 V - enables direct connection to low-power MCU outputs without loading concerns. |
| ESD rating (HBM) | 4000 V - meets automotive-grade robustness requirements for under-hood and chassis-mounted control units. |
Pinout & Package
SO-8 surface-mount package (ECOPACK® compliant, JEDEC MS-012AC); 1.75 mm max height; 5.0 mm × 6.2 mm footprint; thermal resistance junction-to-lead = 30 °C/W per channel.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INPUT1) | Channel 1 gate control & fault feedback node | Accepts TTL/CMOS logic or analog voltage; sinks 10–20 mA during thermal fault to signal MCU; draws only 100–150 µA in normal operation. |
| 2 (SOURCE1) | Channel 1 source reference | Internally tied to GND; serves as return path for load current and diagnostic current; not isolated from substrate. |
| 3 (DRAIN1) | Channel 1 high-side switched output | Connects to positive rail side of load (e.g., lamp, solenoid); clamped to ≤55 V during inductive turn-off. |
| 4 (DRAIN2) | Channel 2 high-side switched output | Independent high-side output identical to DRAIN1; enables dual-load control with shared ground and separate inputs. |
| 5 (SOURCE2) | Channel 2 source reference | Shared with SOURCE1 - both channels use common ground reference; no isolation between channels. |
| 6 (INPUT2) | Channel 2 gate control & fault feedback node | Functionally identical to INPUT1; allows independent control and fault reporting for second channel. |
| 7, 8 (GND) | Power and signal ground | Common ground for both channels and internal protection circuitry; must be low-impedance PCB plane for thermal and noise integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated linear current limiter | Stabilizes output current at 1.7 A typical during overload, eliminating need for external current-sense amplifier and comparator loop. |
| Thermal shutdown with auto-restart | Detects junction temperature >150 °C and disables channel; resumes operation when Tj drops to ~135 °C - avoids manual reset in embedded systems. |
| Overvoltage clamp with rugged avalanche capability | Clamps VDS to 40–55 V during inductive switching, absorbing up to 55 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - replaces discrete clamp diode in relay/solenoid drivers. |
| Diagnostic feedback via input pin | Provides active-low fault signaling (via 10–20 mA sink) directly on control line - eliminates dedicated fault pin and reduces MCU GPIO count. |
| TTL-compatible input interface | Operates with 0.5–2.5 V input threshold and draws only 150 µA - interfaces directly with 3.3 V or 5 V MCUs without level shifters or pull-up resistors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side power switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STSPIN250 | Single-channel, 2.6 A rated, integrated current regulation with SPI interface; requires external clock and configuration registers. | Targeted at motion control with closed-loop current tuning; lacks analog input compatibility and diagnostic sink current. | Select when programmable current profiles and multi-axis synchronization are required - not drop-in for simple on/off replacement. |
| TPS27082L | Single-channel, 2.8 A rated, 120 mΩ RDS(on), but no integrated overvoltage clamp or linear current limiting - relies on external TVS and sense resistor. | Designed for space-constrained consumer electronics; lacks automotive-grade ESD (only 2 kV HBM) and thermal auto-restart. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-automotive applications where board area is critical and external protection is acceptable. |
Compared with STSPIN250 and TPS27082L, the VNS1NV04DPTR-E uniquely combines dual-channel integration, analog-input simplicity, autonomous clamp/current/thermal protection, and diagnostic feedback in one SO-8 package - making it optimal for automotive and industrial applications demanding functional safety without firmware overhead.

FAQ
Can VNS1NV04DPTR-E drive inductive loads without external flyback diodes?
Yes - its integrated overvoltage clamp (40–55 V) and 55 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy rating allow safe switching of relays, solenoids, and small DC motors without external flyback diodes. The clamp activates automatically during inductive turn-off, limiting VDS to protect the die. However, for repetitive high-energy loads, external snubbers may still be recommended to extend lifetime.
What is the maximum continuous current per channel at 85 °C ambient?
At Ta = 85 °C with standard SO-8 PCB layout (58 mm × 58 mm, 2 oz Cu), thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is ~55 °C/W. With 4 W total dissipation limit and derating, maximum continuous current per channel is ~1.1 A (based on RDS(on) increase to ~350 mΩ at Tj = 125 °C and power budget of 2 W/channel).
How does the diagnostic feedback work during thermal shutdown?
When junction temperature exceeds 150–200 °C, the device sinks 10–20 mA through the INPUT pin. If driven by a low-impedance source (e.g., MCU GPIO with <1 kΩ series resistance), this pulls the input voltage near 0 V, signaling fault. If the driver impedance is high, the pin voltage collapses - detectable as loss of logic high - without affecting recovery behavior.
Is VNS1NV04DPTR-E pin-compatible with earlier VNS1NV04DP-E?
Yes - both share identical SO-8 pinout, electrical specifications, and thermal characteristics. The "TR" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging only; no functional or parametric differences exist. Migration requires no PCB or firmware changes - only updated procurement and reel-handling logistics.
